Help Marlin Lever Gun in 375 Winchester

I found a nice Marlin (JM) gun for $400 bucks, but I know nothing of this caliber. I haven't found no ammo yet, i do know that much lol....

That's a cool rifle. Ammunition2Go has some for $3/rd

Looks good for the age. I found it at a pawn shop, guy told me he'd take $400 out the door.

Pawn shop dealing offer 300 and settle on 350.

I'd buy it. Starline makes brass for it, but they are currently out of stock. I think you make it from 38-55 brass. I know buffalo bore ammo stated you can shoot any of their .38-55 Ammo in 375 winchesters, but only theirs.

the 375 is in nowhere land. Not as good as a .30-30 with a 200gr and never gonna be a .45-70. I have a 94 in it. Good deal on the rifle itself though.

Ain't never seen one,but I'd dare to say it kicks pretty good and puts a big hole in chit
Only live once,buy the gun!

If you need ammo right away, you can use Buffalo Bore 38-55 or any hotter 38-55

Its a real cool rifle but best suited for reloads

Did you buy it?

The 375 is a killer woods gun. Buy it.

Do it

Welp i picked her up! Here she is a Marlin 375 pre-safety She's in really good shape, stock (and forearm) definitely has some handling marks, but overall it's pretty nice.

First thing I'm gonna do is take that ole Simmons scope off

Thats a sweet rifle man, I know that Buff Bore is expensive but it will get you huntin and you are unique.
And, if you decide you don’t want it, I’ll buy it off you when I come through or other arrangements.


Awesome!

Very nice!

That's a nice one. Good deal right there.

The second thing you need to do is wipe it down and put it in your secret hiding spot. They only made that gun about 3 years in the early 80's. It is highly collectible if the bluing is in good shape. The stock can be addressed. You might get twice what you paid for it.

Unique rifle and an awesome woods gun. Congrats.

That a boy I love pawn shop piddlin

Nice lever gun!

Nice gun James, I got a 444 Marlin looks just like it.

Appreciate it!

Bluing looks purty dang good, just some muzzle wear, and little bit of rust here and there. I'm gonna give a good clean up in a few days, and yeah i talked with my buddy about it, and he told me to go ahead and jump on it so i did...

I found a place online that has about 40 boxes of Winchester 200Grain PowerPoints, but at $62 a box, i think i will just grab some of the Buffalobore. There is one place in Mobile that just might have some, I'll call them tomorrow...

Be careful using just any .38-55 in it. Normal .38-55 brass is longer and could potentially cause a pressure spike. As far as I know, BB is the only one that states their .38-55 can be used.

Its a neat cartridge to get started with a single stage reloading setup

More interesting to me than a 30/30. Good price James. I would load for it.

Certainly more collectable than a 30-30.

Sounds like you need to part ways with it

I had a Winchester chambered for that round. I regret I sold it.
